Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted


Dennis Yard
 

I'm saying that the 1070 AM staion is low and distorted as are three others local to? San Diego.

I didn't think of non-broadcast AM.? I'll try it.

1070 kHz is on the AM band Los Angeles.

Is it a typo or you are definitely saying 1070 is not on AM?

?

Try listening to WWV on 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHZ on SSB and AM. Is the AM signal clean? If so, then possibly something the LF portion up to 1.8 MHZ in the radio may be bad.

Good evening folks,

?

This week I went to my radio's? AM broadcast stations to listen to local radio. ? They are programmed in along with local FM as well as the usual simplex and repeater frequencies. ?

?

What I got in the way of audio was very low volume and highly distorted. This was on all three stations I checked.

I changed the wire antenna to a different one with no change in behavior. ?

?

All the rest of the bands and modes appear to be fine.? FM broadcast, SSB and digital modes for example.?

?

Can anyone suggest a menu item I may have accidentally changed which would cause this?? Ive looked at all 91 or so without any obvious changes.?

?

73 and thanks in advance.
